To have never met her it has been the most welcoming hug to have been blessed all the smiles, miles and "Aunt Betty Files" each of you share. Each moment a bit of grace...
Kindly,

Love, hugs and prayers are with all the family. Aunt Betty was such a blast to see & chat with, since she could have you in stitches with a story or even just an expression. She was so strong hearted and had the will of a lioness who would tell it like it is!!! The picture you all picked for her obituary page is PERFECT and is so Betty Burton. She's a blessing up with Our Angels and Our Lord, and hoping she can get some stronger help sent down to us !!
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Betty was just Betty, She was funny and laughed a lot and just had a way of making People feel better. Betty was up to doing almost anything. There was a lot of sadness in Her life at times, but this lady always bounced back. Betty's body is gone, but that sweet soul will live on. I will see you on the other side,
